HTC One M8 Expert Review Summary
Verdict
Half a lakh isn’t a small amount of money, and when you’re thinking of spending that much on a smartphone, you’d obviously be looking at acquiring something that scores on all counts – looks, build quality, display, features, camera, performance and battery life. The HTC One M8 scores on almost all counts, with the possible exception of the camera. As we mentioned, the camera only pales in comparison to very few others, but is still quite capable, and some of the extra editing modes available are quite unmatched. The M8 is a tad low on features otherwise, again speaking relatively, si... Read Full Verdict
We reserve the word ‘sexy’ to describe only the most drool-inducing devices, and if you haven’t laid your eyes on the HTC One (M8) as yet, you’ll just have to trust us when we say it looks absolutely scrumptious. So much so that we have our own internal nickname for it – the Yum8. Get it? Good!
Read MoreUnlike its rivals, the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2 that are creeping into phablet territory with their displays sized marginally larger than 5-inches, HTC’s chosen to stick with this size on the M8. Its 5-inch display is still larger than its predecessor, which sported a 4.7-inch screen.
Read MoreWith its last year’s One, HTC attempted to turn conventional smartphone photography tech on its head by incorporating what it calls ‘UltraPixels’. This tech defies the megapixel wars and instead of more pixels, focusses on larger pixel size instead… theorising that larger pixels can capture more light. The One sported a larger sensor with a pixel size that's almost double the size of pixels in conventional smartphone camera, along with a 28mm f/2.0 lens. Technically however, it’s still 4-megapixels, and the One M8 also sports the same sensor, dashing hopes that it’ll come with an upgraded megapixel count this time. HTC does say that it has boosted and improved the sensor for better performance on the M8, though it has dropped the optical image stabilisation available in the predecessor.
Read MoreThe depth sensor on the M8 enables some very cool post-shooting effects, so if you’ve shot a few images using its camera, you can just head into the gallery and choose any image you'd like to edit.
Read MoreYes, there’s KitKat. Yes, HTC’s Sense UI is there too. The brand’s proprietary interface has now moved up to version 6, but visually, you won’t find too many differences when compared to the previous iteration. The move to onscreen navigation keys is quite welcome, specially since the earlier HTC One toted an unconventional two-button setup.
Read MoreA flagship can’t be called that if it doesn’t sport top-notch specs, and the M8 is a true flagship in that respect.
